Geography
This week, the children explored a wider range of volcano types, including stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, calderas, ash cones, and cinder domes. They investigated the key features of each type and researched famous volcanoes such as Vesuvius, Yellowstone, and Krakatoa.
Maths
We began our new unit on fractions. The children have been learning about unit fractions, recognising fractions as part of a whole, and practising adding and subtracting fractions within 1. This week’s worksheets are included for you to see their progress.Week 5 Maths – Fractions
English
Children have been busy editing, checking spelling, planning the layout, and beginning to publish their Information Texts. They are working hard to produce polished final pieces.
PE
Our gymnastics unit continued with a focus on symmetry, balance and travel. The children have been practising three-step routines and confidently performing them in front of their peers.
RSE
This week’s RSE lessons covered the internal and external sexual parts of the male and female body. Next week, children will continue their learning with a session on menstruation, delivered appropriately and sensitively.

In Art, the children have been adding their volcano structures to their sunset backgrounds and beginning to include erupting effects using collage techniques. The artwork is already looking vibrant and exciting!
